Fiskars Loppers | Product Review

Fiskars Loppers | Product Review

This is the last of the three FISKAR tools that I have to review. If you missed the others, I reviewed the FISKAR PowerGear^TM Hedge Shears and the FISKAR PowerGear^TM Medium Pruner.

Fiskars Loppers

FISKARS PowerGear^TM Lopper

My first impressions of the Lopper were that I had finally found a pair of loppers I could rely on and the more I tested this tool, the more I felt this way.

Lets have a look at a few features.

What kind of Lopper are they?
The FISKAR PowerGear^TM are bypass loppers. They work by having two blades which bypass each other in a similar way to scissors.

How do they feel in your hands?
One of the biggest strengths to the FISKAR PowerGear^TM Lopper is their weight, they are extremely light but they also feel solid, they are nice and strong.

There have been times I have picked up loppers that were really light but felt like they'd twist in your hand with their first use. I am pleased to say this is simply not the case here, this tool proved to display good strength when in use.
8/10

Do the handles extend?
In this instance, no, however I was not overly worried by this. I had to use this tool well above my head for a significant period of time, which is often where tools with extendable handles helps, but I found because they cut so efficiently and were so light, my arms did not tire.

In fact, I think this tool would rarely be improved even if it had longer handles.
7.5/10

Does the tool cut well?
Yes. One word answer to match the efficiency of this tool. This lopper is designed to be 3 times more efficient than standard loppers and because of this it makes cutting even some of the thickest limbs possible an absolute breeze.

What is more, I found the cutting length to be fantastic, I was easily able to cut thicker limbs than I could on my old pair of loppers.
9/10

General Comments
Simply put this tool was a joy to use. I do not think I have used a more efficient lopper before, nor had such a smooth cut on thick limbs.

It can be highly annoying having to whip out a saw to cut a limb that really shouldn't need it and this lopper has significantly increased the size of limb I can effectively cut.

FISKARS PowerGear^TM Loppers comes with a 25 year warranty. If you need a pair of Loppers I highly recommend them.

Overall 8/10
